pids: make task_tgid_nr_ns() safe

2017-08-25T00:02:36+00:00

commit dd1c1f2f2028a7b851f701fc6a8ebe39dcb95e7c upstream. This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit 52ee2dfdd4f5 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is not safe because task->group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help. We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader, parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups. Until then we can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and fix the problem.

cpuset: fix a deadlock due to incomplete patching of cpusets_enabled()

2017-08-16T20:40:28+00:00

commit 89affbf5d9ebb15c6460596822e8857ea2f9e735 upstream. In codepaths that use the begin/retry interface for reading mems_allowed_seq with irqs disabled, there exists a race condition that stalls the patch process after only modifying a subset of the static_branch call sites. This problem manifested itself as a deadlock in the slub allocator, inside get_any_partial. The loop reads mems_allowed_seq value (via read_mems_allowed_begin), performs the defrag operation, and then verifies the consistency of mem_allowed via the read_mems_allowed_retry and the cookie returned by xxx_begin. The issue here is that both begin and retry first check if cpusets are enabled via cpusets_enabled() static branch. This branch can be rewritted dynamically (via cpuset_inc) if a new cpuset is created. The x86 jump label code fully synchronizes across all CPUs for every entry it rewrites. If it rewrites only one of the callsites (specifically the one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed, we can hang. This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq counter. The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin (pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key). In cpuset_inc(), we first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets. Similarly, when disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of cpuset_mems_allowed_retry() will start ignoring the seqcount value before we let cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() return 0.

workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable

2017-08-11T16:09:00+00:00

commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream. 5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound workqueues w/ max_active == 1. Because ordered workqueues reject max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active == 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes. This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and overrides from attribute changes if implict.

signal: protect SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE from unintentional clearing.

2017-08-11T16:08:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ] Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we can now trace init processes. init is initially protected with SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can be implicitly cleared. This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing. For example, running: while true; do kill -STOP 1; done & strace -p 1 and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being left in state TASK_STOPPED. Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring them. Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.

mm, slab: make sure that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE will fit into MAX_ORDER

It, however, points to another problem, that SLUB defines KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE too large because the its KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX is (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT) which means that the resulting page allocator request might be MAX_ORDER which is too large (see __alloc_pages_slowpath). The same applies to the SLOB allocator which allows even larger sizes. Make sure that they are capped properly and never request more than MAX_ORDER order.

mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries

2017-08-11T16:08:50+00:00

commit 3ea277194daaeaa84ce75180ec7c7a2075027a68 upstream. Stable note for 4.4: The upstream patch patches madvise(MADV_FREE) but 4.4 does not have support for that feature. The changelog is left as-is but the hunk related to madvise is omitted from the backport. Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

Make file credentials available to the seqfile interfaces

2017-08-07T02:19:42+00:00

commit 34dbbcdbf63360661ff7bda6c5f52f99ac515f92 upstream. A lot of seqfile users seem to be using things like %pK that uses the credentials of the current process, but that is actually completely wrong for filesystem interfaces. The unix semantics for permission checking files is to check permissions at _open_ time, not at read or write time, and that is not just a small detail: passing off stdin/stdout/stderr to a suid application and making the actual IO happen in privileged context is a classic exploit technique. So if we want to be able to look at permissions at read time, we need to use the file open credentials, not the current ones. Normal file accesses can just use "f_cred" (or any of the helper functions that do that, like file_ns_capable()), but the seqfile interfaces do not have any such options. It turns out that seq_file _does_ save away the user_ns information of the file, though. Since user_ns is just part of the full credential information, replace that special case with saving off the cred pointer instead, and suddenly seq_file has all the permission information it needs.

dentry name snapshots

2017-08-07T02:19:42+00:00

commit 49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9e upstream. take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name; if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed (those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable string is stored into the same structure. dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(), but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot(). Intended use: struct name_snapshot s; take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry); ... access s.name ... release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s); Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name to pass down with event.
